Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1562 "The Secret History of Qianlong" - Lin Pinpin

"Get up." Jiang Chen looked Wan Ruyi up and down.

Compared to Chang Jixiang, Wan Ruyi is much prettier.

If Chang Jixiang can only become a ninth-rank maid at most, then Wan Ruyi can definitely become a seventh-rank maid (this means that she can only become a seventh-rank maid at most).

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wan Ruyi bowed and then stood up.

After chatting with Wan Ruyi for a while, Jiang Chen said, "Stay."

"Yes," Wan Ruyi replied.

A moment later, they withdrew under the guidance of palace maids.

“Right now, this one looks better.” Ruolan looked at Jiang Chen.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "It does look quite good, I like it."

"Congratulations, Your Highness," Ruolan said.

Jiang Chen smiled and started chatting with Ruolan.

After a moment, Ruolan said, "Your Highness, let's look at the ladies-in-waiting first."

"Are there still imperial concubines?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, there are a few more." Ruolan nodded.

Immediately, Jiang Chen arranged for someone to summon the next candidate.

However, not every candidate could sign in.

The next few candidates were unable to sign in, and their appearances did not meet Jiang Chen's aesthetic standards, so none of them were kept.

The compensation Jiang Chen provided to the women who were not selected was also quite generous.

The system notification sounded when the eighth candidate was seen.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one set of Tiger Cuffs.]

"A pair of tiger shackles?"

"This is the third time I've checked in and received a Luo Tiger Cuff."

Tiger cuffs are handcuffs.

The difference is that handcuffs are for arresting ordinary people, while tiger handcuffs are for arresting martial artists.

The tiger shackles are made of special materials; even a grandmaster cannot break free once they are on them. More importantly, these tiger shackles can be unlocked using fingerprints, iris scans, and the family head's seal.

The user's fingerprint and iris scan are the lowest level of unlocking, while the head of the household's seal is the highest level of unlocking.

It can be said that these tiger shackles are the powerful weapon of the Qi Yun family.

"Good stuff."

"Although this thing is useless in the Fourth World, it is useful in the First World, the Second World, the Third World, and the Spirit World."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Lin Pinpin is a character in the TV series "The Secret History of Emperor Qianlong".

In the eyes of the world, she is "arrogant and disdainful of others," but in reality, she possesses a strong sense of self-respect. She was born for love, yet was also hurt by it. She becomes entangled in a complicated love triangle with Zhao Baoqin and Xue Wujun.

"Lin Pinpin in 'The Secret History of Emperor Qianlong'?"

"It turns out it's her."

In the drama, Lin Pinpin develops a grudge due to the close relationship between Zhao Baoqin and Zhenxia, ​​and subtly expresses her feelings through a dialogue across distance. Xue Wujun gives her a gold lock to dispel her concerns about the "golden and jade marriage," but this gesture fails to resolve the conflict.

After Zhao Baoqin mistakenly marries Xue Wujun, Lin Pinpin, in despair, burns her poems and ultimately drowns herself in plain clothes. The scene intensifies the tragic atmosphere through details such as Xueyan's dowry and the parrot's search for her.

In the finale, Lin Pinpin is expelled from the family by Madam Zhao and returns to Yuncui Nunnery when she is seriously ill. Her farewell conversation with Zhao Baoqin becomes the most tear-jerking scene in the entire series.

"Lin Pinpin is pure as water, simple and elegant, like a lotus emerging from the water, or a delicate orchid. The beautiful and delicate portrayal brings out the ultimate in the gentle beauty of traditional Eastern women."

"The Zhao family, to which Lin Pinpin belongs, has marital ties with the four great families. In the drama, in order to protect the interests of the family, the Zhao family once broke up the love between Lin Pinpin and Zhao Baoqin and arranged for her to marry Xue Wujun."

"I never expected that Lin Pinpin would participate in a talent show in this world where film and television are integrated."

"I don't know if it was sent by the Zhao family or the Lin family."

Jiang Chen remembered that Lin Pinpin only started living in the Zhao family after her parents died.

I wonder what's going on between Lin Pinpin and Zhao Baoqin?

However, Jiang Chen didn't care about this.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Lin Pinpin bowed.

"Get up," Jiang Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Pinpin stood up.

“Raise your head,” Jiang Chen said.

"Yes," Lin Pinpin replied, raising her head.

Jiang Chen looked Lin Pinpin up and down.

After a moment, Jiang Chen said, "Stay."

"Ah..." Lin Pinpin exclaimed in surprise.

"What?" Jiang Chen looked at Lin Pinpin.

"As you command." Lin Pinpin bowed.

"Go and make the arrangements," Jiang Chen said to the palace maid beside him.

"Yes."

Soon, Lin Pinpin left, led by a palace maid.

“Right now, Lin Pinpin seems a bit weak,” Ruolan said.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

"The Secret History of the Qianlong Emperor" is another version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Lin Pinpin is another version of Lin Daiyu.

The four major families mentioned in "The Secret History of Qianlong" refer to the Zhao, Wang, Li, and Xue families. They were related by marriage and were also political allies. These four families formed a network of marriage alliances and consolidated their power through political alliances.

Later, the Li family declined due to the confiscation of their property. In order to protect their interests, the other three families dealt with the forces of Hongxi and others.

"You look good, Your Highness," Ruolan said with a smile.

Jiang Chen continued to recruit the next batch of candidates.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The young lady bowed.

"No need for such formalities," Jiang Chen said.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits.]

"Ten Vermilion Fruits of Ten Thousand Years?"

"This is the fourteenth time I've checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit is a rare treasure that allows martial artists at the Martial King Realm to quickly advance to the Martial Emperor Realm. After refining the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, one's strength increases by 314, physique by 283, mental strength by 70, and agility by 180. It will be a unique treasure for the Jiang family in the future."

"If everyone signs in a few more times, then everyone can take it."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Ji Fulei is a character in the TV series "Young Hero Hong Wending".

In the drama, Ji Fulei is the daughter of Guangzhou's richest man. She is gentle, elegant, and sweet-looking, and has been well-educated since childhood. After being rescued from kidnappers by Wen Ding, she is grateful and discovers another world through Wen Ding, which broadens her horizons. She falls in love with Wen Ding, but he is not used to being tied down and rejects her love.

"The Young Hero Hong Wending?"

"I didn't expect it to be thistle."

In the drama, Ji Fulei is the daughter of Guangzhou's richest man, but her life is not as happy as outsiders imagine. Her mother's death and her father's remarriage cause her brother to become enemies with her father, and she is forced to get involved in this conflict, caught in the middle. What pains her even more is that her father's strict discipline makes her feel alienated from the city of Guangzhou.

However, fate took a turn after Hong Wending appeared. Hong Wending showed her the prosperity of Guangzhou, helped her resolve the conflict between her brother and father, and even stepped forward to save her in a moment of crisis. These experiences gradually made Ji Fuli develop deep feelings for Hong Wending.

Later, in order to help Hong Wending avert a crisis, she indirectly caused her father's death and was herself captured by the villain Junzhong. Both Ji Fulei and Linglongtou deeply loved Hong Wending, but Hong Wending's feelings for Ji Fulei were limited to those of a good friend, while his best friend harbored feelings for her. Therefore, there was no possibility of a relationship between Hong Wending and Ji Fulei. However, subsequent events unfolded unexpectedly. Hong Wending's reunion with his father triggered a series of crises, indirectly leading to the death of Ji Fulei's father and the decline of her family business. Yet, Ji Fulei never harbored resentment towards Hong Wending, even silently supporting him during his setbacks. This deep affection moved Hong Wending, making him both touched and guilty. After everyone defeated the villain, Hong Wending faced a difficult choice: he didn't know who to spend the rest of his life with, because both Ji Fulei and Linglongtou were crucial to him, and he couldn't do without either.

Linglongtou understood Hong Wending's predicament and, unwilling to put him torn between Ji Fulei and herself, decided to leave silently. This action made Hong Wending realize that the person he couldn't let go of most was actually Linglongtou. Therefore, he resolutely chased after her, while Ji Fulei chose to understand and withdraw, realizing that Hong Wending's feelings for her were more out of gratitude than love.

However, Hong Wending always regarded Ji Fulei as a close friend. Ji Fulei left voluntarily to help Linglongtou. In the end, during the duel between Hong Wending and Junzhong, Junzhong was killed, but Ji Fulei and Linglongtou fell off a cliff at the same time.

After falling off the cliff, Hezhou and Gefeng rescued Linglongtou with a large net, but did not clearly explain Jifulei's fate.

"Ji Fulei is the daughter of the richest man, so it's normal for her to be sent here as a concubine."

"I wonder if Ji Fulei's fate will change after entering the palace."

A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Fulei bowed and stood up.

“Raise your head,” Jiang Chen said, looking at Ji Fulei.

Thistle and plantain are gentle and sweet.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Yes." Ji Fulei raised her head.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Chen looked Ji Fulei up and down.

Although Ji Fulei and Li Yunrui were played by the same actor in their previous lives.

However, the two have different personalities and different temperaments.

Ji Fulei looked at Jiang Chen somewhat nervously. "Stay," Jiang Chen said.

Ji Fulei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

The palace maid next to her stepped forward and took away the thistle and plantain.

"This thistle looks quite nice," Ruolan said with a smile, looking at Jiang Chen.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

If Lin Pinpin still hesitated before, Jiang Chen would definitely not let this Ji Fulei go.

After all, beautiful women are meant to be kept.

He can live for countless years, and when he's bored in the future, he can always find them to relieve his boredom.

There is another concubine after Ji Fulei, but she is not the main character.

After viewing the imperial concubines, Jiang Chen went to the Military Affairs Office.

The Grand Council of the Qing Dynasty has now replaced the Cabinet.

However, it will take some time before the Military Affairs Department can operate normally.

Jiang Chen felt that he had already cultivated the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, and that he could send a clone over to oversee things when necessary.

However, with Jiang Chen's arrival at the Grand Council, the Grand Council ministers faced increased pressure.

To them, Jiang Chen's imperial skills were even more formidable than those of Emperor Kangxi.

Jiang Chen was unaware of the thoughts of these Grand Councilors, and instead handled important military matters in an orderly manner.

After dealing with matters concerning the Grand Council, Jiang Chen returned to the Eastern Palace.

"Ruoxi".

Upon arriving at the East Palace, Jiang Chen saw Ruoxi.

"Your Highness."

Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and gave a proper bow.

“You have a different charm now compared to before.” Jiang Chen took a few steps forward, came to Ruoxi, and looked her up and down.

"Hmph." Ruoxi naturally understood that what she meant earlier was the First World.

"You're not satisfied with seeing me?" Jiang Chen grabbed Ruoxi's hand.

"What do you think?" Ruoxi rolled her eyes.

"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Jiang Chen continued to move closer, his entire body almost pressed against Ruoxi.

"It's getting late, I need to go and rest," Ruoxi said, preparing to leave.

"Then let's go together." Jiang Chen's meaning was quite clear.

"No." Ruoxi naturally understood Jiang Chen's meaning and quickly pulled her hand away from his.

"Why not?" Jiang Chen stepped forward and put his arm around Ruoxi's waist.

"Your Highness, let me go," Ruoxi said.

"Do you think it's possible?" Jiang Chen tightened his grip, hugging her even more tightly.

"It wouldn't be good if someone saw us," Ruoxi whispered.

"No one will see," Jiang Chen whispered sweet nothings in Ruoxi's ear.

Jiang Chen and Ruoxi haven't taken the final step yet, but their relationship is very good.

Therefore, Jiang Chen and Ruoxi quickly became like a couple deeply in love.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen tasted Ruoxi's lipstick.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruoxi pushed Jiang Chen away and ran away.

"This girl, she's not even giving herself a chance."

Jiang Chen shook his head and walked towards Ruolan's courtyard.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Jiang Chen enter, Ruolan waved her hand, signaling the maid beside her to leave.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen stepped forward and hugged Ruolan.

"Your Highness, were you with Ruoxi just now?" Ruolan asked after smelling the air.

"We just ran into each other," Jiang Chen said.

"Just encountered?" Ruolan was slightly taken aback.

Ruolan knew that Jiang Chen had long coveted Ruoxi.

She was somewhat surprised that they hadn't had sex for so long.

After all, Jiang Chen wasn't one of those who procrastinated.

But when she thought of the women around Jiang Chen, she felt relieved.

After all, these things have to be done one by one, and Ruoxi has memories of her past life, so her thoughts are somewhat different from hers. Moreover, even she, when she married Jiang Chen, who was impersonating Yin Tang, loved someone else.

"No rush." ​​Jiang Chen understood that Ruoxi had not completely given up on monogamy.

Jiang Chen also understood that if he really wanted to take things further, Ruoxi wouldn't refuse.

However, Jiang Chen wanted Ruoxi to take the initiative.

After all, it feels really good to be proactive.

"It's good that Your Highness knows what's going on." Ruolan said nothing more upon hearing this.

Jiang Chen chuckled and picked Ruolan up in his arms.

"Husband, you should restore your true form first." Ruolan hugged Jiang Chen's neck.

"Isn't role-playing good?" Jiang Chen chuckled.

"No, I need to keep an eye on you," Ruolan said.

“Alright, but today we will practice the ninth form of the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique,” ​​Jiang Chen said.

Ruolan's face flushed slightly.

She naturally knew what the ninth move of the Carefree Heavenly Technique was.

However, upon seeing Jiang Chen's expectant gaze, she nodded slightly.

"Haha..." Jiang Chen laughed loudly and quickened his pace.

Currently, in the East Palace, besides Ruolan, there are Langhua, Nian Shuyuan, Su Luyun, Mingyu, Nian Shilan, Rongyin, and Nian Suyan.

For Jiang Chen, cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique with these people was more than enough.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was far from satisfied.

So, after leaving Nian Suyan's room, Jiang Chen went to Prince Yong's mansion.

"Husband."

Yi Xiu possessed cultivation, and Jiang Chen didn't suppress his movements after entering Yi Xiu's room, so Yi Xiu noticed him immediately.

"Yes, sorry to bother you." Jiang Chen walked over to Yi Xiu.

"No." Yi Xiu didn't even put on an outer garment, but walked directly towards Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen came in front of Yi Xiu, he put his arm around her waist.

"It smells so good." Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

"Does my husband like it?" After following Jiang Chen for so long, Yi Xiu had long forgotten about Yin Zhen, and even returning to the Qing Kingdom would not cause much of a stir.

"I like it," Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Yi Xiu put her arms around Jiang Chen's neck.

Jiang Chen chuckled and picked up Yi Xiu in his arms.

Soon, indescribable sounds rang out.

The next day, Jiang Chen had just woken up when he saw Yi Xiu standing next to him.

"Why are you up so early today?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I'm going to the palace to see Consort De today, so I got up early..." Yixiu said.

"Is this why we only ordered water three times yesterday?" Jiang Chen realized.

"Well, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Yi Xiu nodded. If it weren't for this reason, she might have had more time to spend with Jiang Chen last night.

"Entering the palace so early?" Jiang Chen looked at the sky and asked, somewhat surprised.

"Consort De has many rules." Yinzhen and Consort De didn't have a good relationship, and Yixiu, as her daughter-in-law, had an even worse one. However, seeing Consort De wasn't something that could be refused at will, so Yixiu didn't make a scene. If Jiang Chen hadn't come yesterday, she wouldn't be so tired today.

Yes, cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique is extremely tiring.

"I'll find her something to do tomorrow," Jiang Chen said, clearly dissatisfied.

Yixiu is her woman.

De imperial concubine?

She was just one of Emperor Kangxi's concubines.

"No need to trouble yourself, I can handle it." Yi Xiu wasn't worried at all.

Let alone her now, even her past self had countless solutions.

It's just that before, because Yinzhen was there and he was the one to protect her, and Consort De's interests weren't threatened, she didn't retaliate.

"Okay, just let me know if you need me." Jiang Chen didn't press the matter, after all, he believed in Yi Xiu's abilities and knew that Yi Xiu could easily resolve the matter concerning Consort De.

Yixiu nodded, then asked, "Husband, are you getting up? Shall I help you change your clothes now?"

"Let's change." Jiang Chen got up from the bed and opened his arms.

Yi Xiu stepped forward to help Jiang Chen change his clothes.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and a voice rang out: "Little sister, are you resting?" Before the voice finished speaking, a woman walked in.
